What new video card, and if it uses your system RAM, why would it not use it when autoconfiged?

Ah, now I see what you mean. But I can't make out whether the A2630 onboard memory, which sits on a 32-bit card, would collide with your Zorro II memory. Have you tried the CV3D yet?

If you have a jumper that explicitly says that it disables AutoConfig RAM, and not just disables the RAM, there should have been a small tool to enable the non-autoconfiged RAM supplied with your accelerator. I know that this kind of tool was supplied with accelerators of about the same generation as the A2630. I don't know if enabling the RAM using that tool will help you, though.

Certain graphics cards allow you to enable only part of the graphics RAM. I don't know if this is possible with the CV3D, or if that will help you, though.
